來自東京的獨立藝術家 RYO INOUE，在成長過程中持續受到美式和日本的復古文化、漫畫影響，從小就喜歡創造各種角色，並通過繪畫來表達理想中的角色形象。他一直致力於通過自己的原創作品與世界分享並進行各種活動。
本次「THE SLUDGE STORE」是 RYO INOUE 生涯首次個人展覽，並與 KOZMOS 攜手在台北展出。以架空的 GARAGE SALE 為主題，呈現系列玩具作品、原畫、印刷品及 SLUDGE 各種限量商品；展出作品皆為展覽限定，數量稀少。
"SLUDGE" 是一個汽車用語，指的是引擎上的髒污。
RYO INOUE 曾經夢想成為汽車技術士，因此使用了與汽車相關的用語作為有趣的連結。
Tokyo-based independent artist RYO INOUE, who draws deep inspiration from American and Japanese retro culture and manga, has always been passionate about creating unique characters. His journey into the world of art led him to embrace sculpting, allowing him to bring his imaginative creations to life.
The term "SLUDGE," referring to engine grime, ties back to RYO INOUE's childhood dream of becoming an automotive technician, creating an intriguing connection to his work's gritty, hands-on aesthetic.
"THE SLUDGE STORE" marks RYO INOUE's first solo exhibition, co-hosted with KOZMOS in Taipei. The exhibition theme, an imaginary GARAGE SALE, reflects RYO's love for retro American culture and his garage-style studio vibe. The exhibition will showcase a series of toys, paintings, prints, and various limited SLUDGE merchandise.

2024 "THE SLUDGE STORE" 終於順利地結束了！
感謝所有來到現場與我們聊天分享、共有時間的朋友。
此次也是我們第一次舉辦個展形式，與文化喜好、審美相近的藝術家Ryo攜手呈獻心目中的場景，共同發想架空商店的企劃 "THE SLUDGE STORE"，產出我們都很喜歡的商品、環境；希望能透過這次的展覽傳遞整個文化脈絡並不只有軟膠玩具本身單一個體，人與人的交流、環境氛圍的感染、創作物的世界觀，都是相互聯繫，唯有親臨現場，才能實際感受。
也讓我們更加堅信真正的文化可以透過持續不斷創造酷的事情來扎根。
再次感謝各位一直以來的支持！
請關注我們未來更多的企劃！🍻
2024 "THE SLUDGE STORE" exhibition has successfully wrapped up!
Thank you to everyone who visited, chatted with us, and shared your time.
This was our first solo exhibition, and we partnered with artist Ryo, who shares our cultural and aesthetic vision, to bring "THE SLUDGE STORE" to life.
We created products and atmosphere we love, hoping to show that culture is about more than just sofubi toys—it’s about the connections between people, the impact of the environment, and the creative worldview.
These elements are all connected, and you can only truly experience them by being there.
This has reinforced our belief that real culture grows from continuously doing cool things.
Thank you again for all your support!
We look forward to more experience in the future!
